McGoff Group facilitates
business growth with
Midshire IT
Midshire has been selected by Altrincham-
based McGoff Group as its trusted provider
for IT support; enabling further growth for
the business.
Midshire maintains 13 multifunctional printers
for the Group, including four at its Altrincham head
office, one at a new satellite office, and three that
are used in the field. Six machines are also used by
associated operating company New Care, across a
number of care homes.
Midshire took over IT support for the company
in October 2015, on a one-year contract. After
a successful review of the support provided, the
contract has been extended and scaled up to meet
the business’ growing needs.
Emma James, Head of Support Services and
Business Operations at McGoff & Byrne said:
“Since using Midshire we have seen significant
savings for hardware, support, and a vast
improvement in service.”
Cash boost for print social enterprise
We Do. Print, part of the Commercial
Foundations social enterprise, is extending
its scope of operations following an
equipment donation from Coventry
Building Society that equates to £170,000
in social value.
An upgrade at the Coventry’s Fulfilment Centre
rendered a Watkiss booklet maker redundant.
It has now been installed at We Do. Print’s
Gloucestershire premises where it will be put to
immediate use. Every £1 spent with or donated
to the organisation, generates the equivalent of
£4.86 in social value.
Commercial Foundations’ Director Natalie
Wadley said the new equipment will deliver
multiple benefits. “The Watkiss booklet maker
takes We Do. Print’s offering to a new level,
enabling the business to offer a wider range of
finishing services to clients,” she explained. “It
also unlocks an additional potential skillset for
the young people we’re working with. We Do.
Print has ambitious growth plans this year, so the
donation couldn’t have come at a better time.”
Coventry Building Society has a longstanding
relationship with Commercial Group and has been
an avid supporter of Commercial Foundations
since it was established.
Official print partner
This year’s Virgin Money London Marathon takes place on Sunday 23 April. As the
Official Print Partner, Apogee staff will be on hand throughout the build-up week and
the race weekend itself to help the organisers prepare and manage the event.
A fleet of equipment will be delivered, installed and supported on-site, with Apogee engineers at
each location to ensure the organisers have everything they need for the event to run smoothly. The
official race results booklets will be printed and finished at Apogee’s digital print facilities in London
prior to distribution to the world’s press.
Apogee is also entering a team of staff runners in the Virgin Money London Marathon to raise
money for Global’s Make Some Noise.
Gary Downey, Group Marketing Director at Apogee said: “We really are thrilled to be appointed
again as the 2017 Official
Print Partner to such a globally
recognised event. Our team
enjoys working with the
marathon organisers and I’m
delighted that the quality of
support we provide has been
recognised. For major events
like this, our careful planning
and precise execution, means
we provide an infrastructure
that organisers can rely
upon.”
